Dusty Drake - I Am The Working Man Lyrics
That's what I'm talkin' about.Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.I cut my teeth on an old lawn-mower,Cleanin' out gutters, doin' other people's chores.After school. weekends an' holidays.Yeah, ever since then, all I've known,Is my nose on fire from the grindstone,A lifetime built on an hourly wage.Muscled arms an' calloused hands:I am the workin' man.The sun comes up, the sun goes down,Gotta keep this world turnin' 'round.Blazin' hot, freezin' cold:No matter what, it still goes on.Pushin', pullin', pourin', mixin',Somebody's gotta fix it:I am the workin' man,Yes, I am.Now I've laid asphalt an' I've laid brick:I've hung sheet, rock and shovelled sh**,Eat my lunch down at the Kwickie-Mart.Oh, I fill the potholes on easy-street,So show some respect when you look at me.I'm just out here tryin' to do my part.An' I sleep good when the day comes to an end,'Cause I am the workin' man.The sun comes up, the sun goes down,Gotta keep this world turnin' 'round.Blazin' hot, freezin' cold:No matter what, it still goes on.Pushin', pullin', pourin', mixin',Somebody's gotta fix it:I am the workin' man.I can swing a hammer, turn a wrench,Build a tower, dig a ditch,Drive a truck that shakes the earth,Somebody's gotta do the dirty work.The sun comes up, the sun goes down,Gotta keep this world turnin' 'round.Blazin' hot, freezin' cold:No matter what, it still goes on.Pushin', pullin', pourin', mixin',Somebody's gotta fix it:I am...I am the workin' man.Yes I am,Oh. the workin' man.
